I bought this at [a local store]. I love this pan. Tough, durable, nice heavy (without being too heavy) weight,able to take oven to stove to fridge without warping unlike some other cheap pans I have. Cleaning is a breeze. This really WOULD be my everyday pan except for the fact that it's a little smaller in size to be truly an everyday pan and I'm only cooking for 2 people. Fork over the money and pay a little more to get the 12 inch pan. That will be much more practical.

Got this little Calphalon pan about two months ago because of its price. Have been impressed with it ever since! Heats fast and evenly. Can cook on much lower temps than I do with my commercial stainless steel cookware. This "three-layer" nonstick coating IS FAR SUPERIOR TO CALPHALON'S TWO-LAYER NONSTICK USED ON SOME OF ITS OTHER PRODUCT LINES! Downside: a) Thought it would be made in Toledo, OH, as are other Calphalon Commercial pans, but was made in China; b) Is on the smallish side and its rounded sides make spillage and overflow a problem if you fill it much more than half-capacity with something that requires stirring--don't expect to cook servings for more than two or three in it; c) Lid and handles do get hot, so have to be careful. But overall, given its price and quality--not to mention its pleasing aesthetics--it is a "must have" pan for every kitchen! (Curiously, despite Calphalon describing this pan as its "commercial" line, the lifetime warranty notes that it does not apply if "used in commercial establishments"!)

This was my second Calphalon purchase and the first non-stick. I'm not a big fan of non-stick, but this is great. Use it almost everyday. We have a Vegetarian Communist in our house and sometimes it is necessary to cook the same thing in two different pans...this comes in really handy when I want to leave something cooking while I concentrate on real food. Never had anything stick to this or burn, looks great too, have actually brought it to the table and served from it. Makes a great frittata, but be careful if you use it in the oven, not for use under the broiler. The handles get VERY hot. I knew that when I bought it, but just last night I picked it up without a pot holder and have the blisters to prove it. I can't believe I went all these years cooking without Calphalon, it's the best. Cleans up without any effort, a swish of the sponge and it's clean, or you could let the cat lick it out, nothing sticks to it. If you want what you're cooking to brown, this is not the pan to use, grab the hard-anodized for browning to perfection. Ciao!

I use this pan virtually every day, from 2 person stir-fry to successive omelettes, to re-heating a quick piece of chicken or hamburger or steak. It is perfect for 2 toad-in-the-hole or a succession of crepes. I use it to reduce sauces. It goes in the sink, quick swipe with a detergent sponge and back to the stove. It is probably the most functional pan I have ever used.

I bought this pan based on the performance and construction of other Calphalon cookware I've purchased. However, as soon as I unpacked this one, it was apparent that the workmanship and finish was significantly below my other Calphalon pans. The pan rim was unevenly ground - the lid fits flat, but looks uneven when the lid is removed. The polished lid has numerous tiny pits and marks not found on my U.S. made Calphalon. I suppose this is one of the trade-offs for the great price, although if I were Calphalon, I'd market the China-made line under a different name if they can't maintain the quality standards of the Ohio made line.

I had previously purchased the 9" Commercial Nonstick Collector's Edition Everyday Pan with Lid from Amazon, which was made in the Ohio, and was very impressed with the contruction and finish. (It also works very well, but is a bit tippy on burners when empty.)

Cooking quality is fine so far. I hope the nonstick finish will prove as durable as the U.S. made pans.

The size, overall appearance, and dual loop handles allows this pan to work well as a serving piece on the table for casual dining.

I bought this from Amazon during a Friday sale and I'm very pleased with it. It is, by far, my favorite pan to cook with. It heats up very quickly and evenly. The nonstick surface is great. Nothing has stuck to it yet. Cleanup is very fast and easy. I've made sure to follow the recommendations and not cook at high heats or use it in the dishwasher. It still looks great. The only negatives I have about it are that you have to be careful of the hot handles when cooking and its small size, though I knew the size of it when I was purchasing it so its not really a negative, but I'd love a larger one.

Overall, this is an excellent deal for the price. I'm a novice cook and this pan makes cooking very painless as long as you follow proper care recommendations (no high heat, no metal utensils, no dishwasher).

The price of this pan made me buy it. The quality of this pan made me rave about it to all my friends. The non-stick can withstand the dishwasher (unlike many other non-stick pans out there) but a quick handwash and you are good to go. The cover fits securely, the pan is solid without being too heavy. Finally, the pan look so nice you can leave it on your stove for the next meal. I can't believe I am so excited about a piece of cookware (lol) but this one is just totally worth the money. Now, if only they made it in a 12 inch...

I bought this pan after getting the Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 12" everyday pan.
It compliments the 12" pan very nicely.
Great for smaller one dish meals and I made a jumbo apple pie that turned out great the 1st try.
I like it very much.

Okay, if this is your only good pan, maybe it is. But don't you need more than one good pan? I've had mine for three or four years (since my divorce!), and use it several times a week. Despite scratching it with a fork while cooking, duh!, the coating hasn't peeled even a tiny bit. The handles get hot... so what? Because they're small, the pan fits flat in the sink, a big plus if you don't wash your dishes every day. I have a dozen or more 'good' pans... I use this one the most.

I got this pan about a month ago, and I love it. I use it more than any other pan I have. It is very attractive, and is great for making pasta sauces or sauteing veggies. I won't know how well the nonstick surface holds up for awhile, but cleanup is sure a breeze! If you want to make one dish meals, get the larger 6 quart version.
